I had registered with Teachers Test prep to review content to prepare for the Multiple Subject CSET exams. I was very happy and excited to get to studying and pass these tests! Unfortunately, this was not only not helpful but easily the worst educational experience I've experienced from Undergrad, Graduate School, Coast Guard Captains school, etc. The teacher for this class was very clearly more interested in how fast she could speed through slides to get her day over with than in providing any meaningful education. The pedagogies used in her program were antithetical to every meaningful and effective pedagogy we as teachers seek. Let me elucidate with some details. During the math portion, I was trying to take notes. While scribbling like a madman to keep up, I noticed the speed at which this teacher was going, though slides left me not one but more often 3-4 slides behind in the time it takes to write less than 6-8 words. Not a single time did she ask "Are there any questions?", this being one of the cornerstones of teaching and checking fluency. I struggle with math thus taking this course. She moved and spoke faster than Flash runs the 100 meter. At one point I asked for an explanation from her about a term I was unfamiliar with, and her answer at the end was "just look it up"... moments later, when she was racing slides ahead again, I said, "I am feeling really lost", the teacher's reply "just try to keep up". As stated earlier, this is antithetical to any meaningful pedagogy. I ended up having to leave the class as the instruction, despite asking for clarity and help in the class, was so poor and the teacher so disinterested in doing her job, the class had become what I could only describe as a joke. I would suggest Teachers Test prep to have a very serious conversation with their instructors as to what it means to teach.
